Just watched it on bluray. It's honestly astonishing. This is a film that is going to stay with me for a long time. The way it looks is good enough for me on the first viewing, the grey wastelands with splashes of Orange rust are the immediate standouts for me. Like the original film every frame could be a painting. This is without going into the story, tone, acting and soundtrack. Staggering… I think it's even better than the first film despite lacking a scene on a par with the ' tears in rain' sequence.

Dahh is science fiction for smart people me smart ha ha ha. Ok I saw it in Copenhagen Dk. on weekday 1st showing so there were only 25 or so folks in the theatre and at the end we all applauded more than a few stood: I stood. You know it's like the committee of mediocrity enforcement somehow allowed a Beethoven symphony to slip out. I respect the potential of Science fiction because at 8, I saw 2001, so when I 1st saw Star Wars when it came out I was rolling my eyes. So satisfying science fiction dragged all the way back to Flash Gordan . Now at the last poker game with my mates I realized how much I am the odd jazz music modern art Buddhist misfit. So I didn't think it was too long. This film was bound to flop initially but is also bound to become a classic.

Credit where it's due…WETA created amazing miniatures for this film. The city was not all CG. The wider expansive shots are largely digital, but they made extensive use of highly detailed miniatures in the fly-throughs.

At 15:40 you’re almost complaining that there are no miniatures in the movie, but it’s supposedly CG, and how that would take away the air of mystery about how they pulled it of to make such a convincing city etc.

Well, they actually built tons of real miniatures for Bladerunner 2049. It’s not CG made to look like miniatures, these are actual miniatures.

And, to make it even better, the miniatures were built by Weta Workshop, and they did an amazing job! Not only is LAPD and it’s surroundings built with miniatures, also the Trash Mesa, the Wallace Tower etc. So, feel free to feel amazed by Weta Workhop’s fantastic miniature work for this movie.

Here you can watch a video about the miniature work in Bladerunner 2049:

It’s ironic how you guys complain about CG while it actually wasn’t CG at all. It’s like the opposite of people not noticing CG, thinking certain things were done physically while they were not.

I think 2049 followed way too closely to the original. I feel like they didn't want to disappoint the fans of the original (of which i am a die hard fan). The pacing, cinematography, storyline, etc. were all very derivative to the point where it was basically just a rehashing of the original. It was pretty good, but it didn't blow me away at all like the original did. 7.5/10

It's like all Villeneuve movies – plenty of things to like with one or two drawbacks. What I will say is it featured an absolutely mesmerising performance from Sylvia Hoeks as Luv. She only gets maybe fifteen minutes of the film but every second she burns up the screen. The scene in Joshi's office where she's projecting terrifying menace whilst tears are streaming down her cheeks really transformed what was a fairly stock villain into a character who I could empathise with. She is a slave made to witness and participate in all of Wallace's violence and cruelty whilst her soul is crying in protest. Can't think of an actress recently who literally had me re-winding every single frame to scrutinise the subtleties of her facial expressions, body movement etc. So much acting these days is oratory and it makes a refreshing change when you see an actress/actor who can communicate such a range of emotions without ever opening their mouths

I love this movie and it left me wanting more of this world. I'd love to have a map of this version of Los Angeles and explore it more. How tall are these buildings how vast is the dense city look and the blocks are how are they compared to the duper tall buildings.

Guys they actually did use a lot of miniatures and the junk yard scene was physically created by hand (obviously with green screen backgrounds) think you should probably look up this information before reviewing a film – other than that great work!

This was a rare sequel that was better than the original and to me by far. I've always liked the original Blade Runner for the ideas and the sets and visuals but the story itself was kind of bland and Harrison Ford gave one of his worst performances in it. This movie has a really good story, they could have easily trimmed 15 minutes off to make it a little tighter as a lot of the running time was padded with Ryan Gosling walking really slowly through a set.

Denis Velleneuve has become one of my favorite directors. He keeps getting better and better.Its a shame this movie didn't do well at the box office because I'd like to see more of this world. I can however understand how a really expensive slow burn film noire movie with a nearly 3 hour running time was a recipe for a box office dud.

Just watched the film. Its a beautiful film but i thought it was too white. So in LA 2049 there are no brown or black ppl? And I guess the future can only advertise to straight men. If you cant find a taco or Korean bbq than the future is a horrible place. Poor Sean Young. I did not like the third act.

Oliver Harper, around 15:50 you mention there aren't any miniatures in the film, but Denis Villeuve said in a few interviews that there were. Especially the drone flying over Las Vegas, we can clearly see that it's a miniature set 😉
